So damn cool...My brother just got back from a deployment in Bahrain and would always send pics of the forbidden fruits you guys have in the Middle East; such as, 70 series Land Cruisers and your Nissan. Very nice truck. Enjoy it!

The Patrol is so damn durable, never heard of someone asking about strengthening the axles and transmission except if they go beyond 1000hp+. It comes with high gear ratio (4.375) with a rear locker, so you only need to add little details compared to many other competitors (Bigger tires, lift, winch), or you can order it with the factory winch aswell:

So I'm considering buying the factory one, because I shouldn't use it beyond 5 times in the next 10 years maybe! (I don't offroad for the sake of offroading but to reach places).

There is the LWB

And the pickup as well

But the problem is some people turned those into dragsters and racing cars! Which made the police too irritated and they'll double check on you compared to real sport coupes!

With many of them beating Ferraris, Lambos, etc.

But they're the main cars of the army + police as well with land cruisers, but the army are mostly patrols:

Police, and more land cruisers for police: Older version Y61 Patrol

-------------------

The Y61 patrol can pass the regulations in the US in case they change the TB48DE 4.8L inline-6 engine into 4.0L V6, which can still make magic with a high gear ratio as 4.375! Or even switch to 5.6 V8, but it's too huge to fit, yet you can fit an LS7 so easily for being an old school, OHV engine (small in size, big in displacement).

Maybe the market in the US is not targeting real 4x4, as the Jeep Cherokee XJ has been killed, no Land Rover Defender "as I know", only wrangler and very few options with 2 solid axles. So it's a gamble for them as those really consume a lot of fuel, most customers in the US won't find them tempting. I would love to see them in the US as we'll get LOTS of aftermarket goodies! But it's too late, the Y61 is seeing its final year (2016). Nothing official of what's coming/not coming in the future, as all the engines available in the lineup now aren't passing the new Euro 5 and 6 regulations, which leave them in small market share.

I hope they make one step back to go forward again in 2018, they can't give up their share to Toyota!

The car after registration, before sending it to my region (1100km approx.)

More pics of the interior, my friends told me that red is a bad idea, but I don't really think so One customer at the same dealer when he saw mine he got pissed at them as he didn't knew it was available!

Now it should get here within 2-3 days, costing 65 Omani rials (169$ US dollars) to send it here.
